• Anatomy – study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts
• Physiology – study of how the body and its parts work or function
• Gross Anatomy• Large structures• Easily observable
• Microscopic Anatomy• Very small structures• Can only be viewed with a microscope

Draw a stick-like figure, with a head, trunk, arms, and legs in anatomical position standing erect, facing forward, upper limbs at sides, palms facing forward.
As the terms are discussed, designate the area or draw arrows on the paper to designate direction.

Identify the following areas on your stick figure:
1. Area distal to the knee.2. Area proximal to the elbow.3. Lateral to the thumb.4. Area that is superior to the lungs.5. Area that is inferior to the heart.6. A structure that is anterior to the brain.7. Draw a line showing a transverse plane.
